Chris Stapleton - Star Spangled Banner Super Bowl LVII (Reaction!!) National Anthem

[@ghostpatriot4754]

You laughing... while men where crying - because they know what has given to them, their right to play and coach the game they love and gives the the opportunity to live your life with Freedom is quite disrespectful. Why can I say this.... because I have served!!! God Bless America!!!

[@poloreacts27]

That's because you read my laughter as malicious if you actually knew me you would know it's not that deep. If he was my friend I would tease him to his face but still have his back. I never lose my sense of humor even when things go wrong in my life. Life's too short to take it too seriously.

[@SeanL262]

His laughter is clear as day not poking or making fun of anyone.

[@T-Nah]

@POLO REACTS haven't gone through the whole video yet, but what a self-serving response. You could have acknowledged that ANYONE laughing WOULD be disrespectful, but that isn't what you were doing. And then maybe even thank them first their service. I'm Canadian btw, and really did enjoy you before this comment - yeah, I'm at the laughing part now... 💔

[@poloreacts27]

@Christopher Moltisanti Right. If it were my team I'd never forget this day.

[@shawncovert751]

@GHOST PATRIOT, I was actually thinking the same thing.

[@jamesnardone1428]

Hands down best rendition ever!

[@synisterfluffball4312]

man showed up with a guitar, an amp and a cord to plug the two together and gave one of the best renditions ever...

[@michellekemp3104]

I live in Australia and watched a documentary about the origins of the American national Anthem, OMG I cried no wonder you are so proud of those words❤️

[@CBB672]

Never heard Marvin Gaye, performance play it please

[@afit5341]

Nobody can ever convince me that God Almighty wasn’t behind that flag holding it up as our men put 1000% effort to keep it flying. 🙌🇺🇸

[@CGC1954]

Every time I hear the national anthem I cry. This is the best SB anthem ever. Yes I know background story and I’m glad somebody did put it on KZbin so others would learn why we love our flag so much and what it stands for. Thank you for your kind words.

[@keelsmac01]

Also a vet and I always cry during our national anthem. I guess when you take that oath it really means so much. God bless America 🇺🇸!

[@marcieharreld286]

Thank you for your service!!🙏💜🇺🇸🎶🎼🎵

[@johnwilliamson2276]

You are absolutely right. Once we take this oath to our Flag and our Country no one can take that away! Mine was August 18, 1968 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Semper Fi Brother

[@veronapaisley6915]

I believe that Chris Stapleton's iteration is the only one that brings so many people to overflowing tears with the reverence, passion, soul, gospel and emotions to the American National Anthem. He brought "Reverence" to the Superbowl LVII.

[@duanesgarage6294]

This performance made this Canadian stand up and cover his heart. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 well done

[@Zombievoodooqueen]

This Canadian had tears in my eyes hearing this and it’s not even my country’s anthem

[@lindacolombo8364]

Bravo Mr. STAPLETON!! You had me weeping..So Very PROUD to be an American Patriot!! ❤🦅❤

[@billyray6913]

This is one of the greatest performances of the national anthem I have ever heard.

[@fostermorris7990]

I totally agree! He really did his thing and not to many ppl can sing the national anthem

[@element720]

Not ONE of the greatest… THE greatest

[@CSpad]

His & Whitney's were the best 2. I prefer Chris's. Whitney's had the added effect because of Desert Storm & us going to take Kuwait back.

[@Arbitrator76]

So you’ve never seen Whitney Houston or Marvin Gaye perform the national anthem.

[@paulgehres2796]

Not many artists can hold and blow away thousands of people with just a guitar and a voice-great job

[@nfamusRyno]

Damn..y'all think the Eagles coach Nick was crying? Man, I was straight up fell back in my chair, hand on my heart, talkin leaking. Hell, I'm still blubberin! Wow

[@sherryherrick6567]

I cry everytime I hear the Natl Anthem. I think of my dad (Battle of the Bulge) WWII, and my husband served in Vietnam!

[@Almcingrid3663]

Knowing the story behind the song and the stripped down version Chris did brought me to tears.

[@randil4620]

This was the best national anthem performance I have ever seen. I have watched it so many times. ❤

[@BobbyNotBrown]

Nothing wrong with crying when you hear that song, especially this rendition

[@fyou2327]

Especially when America means the world to you and you know what it means to be American and what it took make and takes to keep America, you f*cking cry. God bless our country and f*ck everyone who doesn't like it.

[@jameschavarria4791]

I have a son over sea in the military and every time I hear this it brings tears to my eyes because he's out there defending our country and I couldn't be more proud of him

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

A lot of singers put so much vocal gymnastics in their renditions of this song, they make it all about themselves. Chris said "I can do all that too, here's a taste", but he also showed restraint so as not to overshadow the song and the moment.

[@Kevinschart]

that was what made it magical. he took you on a journey. He gave you a little, then he gave you a lot, then he took, it back. Those runs were killing me. He earned a few million new fans on sunday.

[@ladyj1749]

All facts!!!

[@theproudONE92]

His delivery was perfection

[@trumphatesyou]

Fergie was the complete opposite of this. Made me want to puke. And the Black Eyed Peas halftime show was the worst ever!

[@karenwalsh1143]

When I hear this song I usually don't listen to the words BUT Chris Stapleton made me FEEL THE WORDS

[@fyou2327]

Why the F wouldn't you listen to the words?

[@lisasmelser2646]

Best performance ever! Who doesn’t cry for the Star-Spangled Banner! Chris Stapleton’s version is what this country needed to hear and still does!

[@cindylawrence1200]

My brother, who was a football player at 6’4 and 300lbs, would cry when music made him feel a certain way. I think it’s a wonderful ability

[@LillieHarvey-my7ui]

Chris Stapleton doing it his way awesome

[@morph3on53]

This rendition moved me to tears when I watched it on game day - and I'm not from the USA.

[@RonDexter]

I'm a Veteran and I was crying during that as well as when they played Johnny Cash's "Ragged Old Flag" earlier in the pre-game. They always touch my heart-strings. I put this version on top of my list right before Whitney Houston's Olympics and Super Bowl versions. I totally forgot about Marvin Gaye's version. I'll have to go find a recording of that now to listen again. Cheers!

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Thank you Mr.Dexter, I MEAN IT, God bless you and your family sir

[@fyou2327]

I love Ragged Old Flag. I cry every time no matter who's around. Anybody who says sh*t about my tears just plain doesn't have enough love for this country and doesn't or can't truly fathom what it means to be America. The values and morals she's built upon and stands for, the blood that's been shed to make her and keep her, the families who are forever missing someone who fought for her, and the lesser way life could be anywhere but in America are things I think of every Godd@mned day and that everyone should think about and hold dear to their hearts although many don't. "For those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know." God bless this beautiful America and Semper Fi until I die.

[@1956con]

Chris Stapleton is an amazing artist!!!!

[@Serquss]

What's amazing about Christ Stapleton is that his music unites all Americans. It's country but with soul; it's red dirt but with the blues. Whites and blacks can cry together when we all recognize authentic beauty.

[@susanchavez4778]

I really enjoyed watching the players. They do not get this emotional, but wow how could they not!! He is just amazing.

[@babsdrumm4205]

Brother, yes Chris is AMAZING LOVING YOUR COMMENT'S VERY BEAUTIFUL AND POSITIVE. CHRIS PERFORMANCE WAS A TEAR JERKER. BRAVO, BRAVOS . POLO,❤❤❤ THANKS AGAIN❤❤😊 AGAIN

[@nancydoney7203]

Just a beautiful voice he is the best performer who ever did this song he had the players and audience feeling proud to be a American and I can tell you I am very very proud to be slamrrican no need to laugh at the players crying

[@krw73]

The pride standing on that sideline would have had me in tears also. I put this right up there with Whitney's version because his voice actually sounds like America. If the country could sing, this is what I imagine it was sound like.

[@zennenn]

How does Whitney not sound like America?

[@ruveniyawinipictures]

@@zennenn maybe he means that he sounds like white America.

[@ErinSantos-s2w]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!! That’s the only thing you should feel when you hear this!!!!!!!

[@boynamesue7720]

Coolest rendition I've heard thus far.

[@JacobCuevasVFX]

Chris just reaffirmed why I love this country so much. We are far from perfect but my goodness we are blessed to live in this wild experiment that defied all odds called America.

[@cindyphifer970]

Love Chris and the simple way he sang this. God bless America

[@christiwallace2638]

Greatest I've ever heard absolutely Beautiful and flawless

[@vixybanker]

Polo, I am a fan of yours. This is only song that should NEVER be interrupted in order to make comments. That is our "National Anthem", our anthem is sacrosanct. You listen, hand over heart ( as I was taught), then you comment whatever you wish. Men and women have sacrificed their lives so that we can enjoy the Super Bowl, the least we can do is listen with respect our National Anthem. I am perfectly aware of our 1st Amendment rights, but lives are sacrificed for that as well. Be Blessed.

[@SamM-jd3fm]

You're right about that call. I'm still not over it

[@TaniaIñiguez-g9d]

The best performance!!!!!yes sr..

[@robertdegrazia9668]

So great !@@@

[@imajhawk11]

Chris and Whitney are tied now for me. This was WONDERFUL!!!

[@lilpoohbear653]

[@sukioki6983]

At least Chris sang Live... Whitney didn't. Chris wins for me

Yeah she lip synced it

[@ericduerbeck2505]

Always love to see your reactions brother. Nice touch with the Tom Hanks at the end.

[@lindaturner3384]

Best performance imo. And you're right about the call at the end. Big time Eagles fan here!!!

[@janiceobernberger8846]

True patriots crying for your country takes heart and soul

[@kangjames2492]

I feel this is #1. I've listend to them all back to back. Chis#1 Jennifer #2 Whitney #3. It's the depth, style, tone, emotional appeal etc that did it for me. The song was arranged in such a way that it took you for a ride on a bike along the beach through the snowy mountains through the Savanah ending at the parade!!!

[@johntruxal432]

Tbf gaga did a heck of a national anthem and i don't like her at all.

One of the best🇺🇸

[@laughingdoc1673]

I feel the bluesy vibe in the anthem is on point. We been thru alot.

[@maxinefreeman8858]

I love it. A man that rode the school bus with him in high school says Chris sang all the time. Said he had that voice he sang all the time. A few months ago when those horrible flash floods hit eastern Kentucky, Chris got a concert set up in a week for a concert at Rupp Arena for the people. He got Patti Loveless, Dwight Yoakum, Ricky Skaggs and other singers from eastern Kentucky. They raised over 2 million dollars. I saw him on the local news. He had his hair tied back and was helping distribute water and other items. Chris and Patti sang, You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive. at the CMA's award show. She's a little older than when she recorded it. That was the best performance at the award show. They came from a little farther north in eastern Kentucky than I live.

[@benmaxwell4422]

I get choked up every time I hear this song!!

[@charissakington606]

I ALWAYS cry with this song. Every time. I always feel the pride and love for the great country we have privilege to call "home." Home of the free because of the brave....

[@danielparker8189]

I think more ppl would if they knew the story behind it. Francis Scott Key witnessed patriots pay the ultimate price to keep the flag upright despite knowing it was certain death. And to see ppl spit in the face of those patriots who died so we could be free are despicable subhumans.

[@moirabaker458]

I'm Scottish and I love singing along with this National Anthem. 😊

[@beareffect3314]

Chris Stapleton singing made me feel like I was back in Afghanistan, plate carrier, waiting for that 108mm blow out, American flag in hand screaming FUCK YAHHHHH!!!

[@bjrollick5262]

I give the Eagles Coach a pass for crying. I heard somewhere before hand he has always pictured himself standing there on the sidelines, right before the Super Bowl, listening to the National Anthem, and how emotion that would be.

[@lilpoohbear653]

real men cry :)

[@flutesong5527]

The signer became known because many saw his sincerity. And Chris is amazing

[@shelleylund612]

I have followed Chris for about 3 years now. You have to listen to his Tennessee Whisky. It is phenomenal 👏. Chris grabbed everyone's soul with his fist and starred into it. He had everyone in the palm of his hand ❤️ I will always love this man. ❤️

[@janetsmith5665]

I'm so glad he's a Kentuckian!!! Thank you for appreciating Chris. I'm enjoying your channel.

[@ThePhillyfan30]

Thank you for saying that

[@smgill2282]

It's CHURCH! The guitar tune has an organ feel to it, this is soul and church... He didn't try to over sing it, Whitney was the best singer, but this is my favorite version because it's sung in almost pure reverence

[@kathleenmargolis5833]

Chris Stapleton is an awesome guitarist as well as a singer💕

[@samanthajudy8333]

i thing he managed to accomplish making it his own, without seeming like he was stealing your attention away from the reverence you should be feeling at that moment! he gave it heart, sang it SO beautifully, but obviously avoided putting on a performance as serious ad we all know he could! FN LOVED IT!!!

[@quintondees4501]

Chris is absolutely ridiculous......the man is amazing

[@bsmith8943]

Was holding. Pure and simple.

Ghost Patriot pretty much said it all and your response to him clarified it.

[@phyllisness9270]

I've probably listened to 50 reactions to this and I still cry.

[@barbarawalsh4936]

Chris brought out that patriotism many forgot they had. Maybe the man you just laughed at was a soldier, remembering friends he lost.

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

I'm going to see him in July whoop whoop!!!

[@geniej9093]

I only saw Marvin Gay's performance last night, for the first time. Yes, that was one for the books as was Marvin Gay. Thanks for reacting to this favorite... And for the mention of not jumping to conclusions about appearance. Lessons being learned.

[@CBB672]

It was beautiful

[@sveltland]

I was very surprised how good that was. I almost teared up before even seeing coach. Americans bonded on that one. Good stuff

[@jenniferl1646]

The national anthem is not mentioned to be intertaining, it's to honor. Francis Scott wrote this during a battle. Its what he saw

[@shellygill5029]

Chris did an amazing rendition. His voice is so soulful. This is my 1st choice for a male's voice. Whitney is my top #1 all around choice. Definitely #1 female vocalist with Lady GaGa's rendition ( at Pres. Biden's Inaugural) as my #2 female choice. These are the 3 renditions in feel have captured the essence of what the song is saying. In case You missed it....those 4 fighter jets that passed over the stadium were all pioleted by women.

[@fyou2327]

Piloted by women, what's your point?

[@stellanoid5941]

IMO best duo of Anthem and halftime show ever! Neither disappointed.

[@kathyyoung9539]

They where all cryin'. Chris blew the rendition out of the Water the best I ever heard. Bar None!

[@TheDivayenta]

I agree with you on the halftime show. She’s pregnant so she barely moved. The dancers were really good. Chris Stapleton alone can move people to tears. He also duets beautifully with his vocally gifted wife. Tennessee Whiskey; This is a Man’s World are two great starting points. 🌹

[@ruserious9577]

Yes, the absolute precision in timing required for those jets to be on target when they should be is not an easy feat. It's called "TOT" (Time On Target) and takes an extraordinary amount of different factors, all mathematically coordinated, to have them arrive at that point in the airspace...at that exact second. It is practiced constantly and used in all air to ground engagements, be they warfare, military ceremonies, funerals, and Super Bowl's. Everything from their airspeed and vectoring to the target, to Sky-Harbor airport stopping all air traffic for them to pass through...all of it needs to be precisely timed Consider they are traveling at say...400mph, they need to line up and be in-formation @many miles out. If they miscalculate any of this at 4-5 hundred miles an hour...they either don't arrive in time...or they arrive too early. And they only get one chance.

[@janicex7976]
